Your last sentence is another reason why one puts up with a less-than-happy lifestyle (such as MD, for those for whom it does not seem to be a good "fit") for longer than would seem sensible. It beats working. Or does it? I don't know about you guys, but I have a deep respect for those rare spiritual traditions in which the priests or hierarchy *worked* for a living. The "flock" didn't support them. They had to go out and work for a living in the world, as did the flock. Most of those traditions have developed a feeling of work *as* path, just another experience that one can attempt to bring one's best to, and thus use work as just another opportunity to learn and grow. There is almost never the concept of a "day job" in such traditions. There is only the job, and it's called life. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
